She has a greater amount of gratitude for her grandma and her aunt who took her on European vacations and paid for the incidentals. As she put it, when you are paying for your own meals, you really think about whether you are that hungry. She also booked a room at a hostel near the British Museum and ended up sharing it with another student. That way she was able to save a little money.

I asked our friend, Nai, to find out how Marina was really doing and gave Nai full permission to pull the "mom card" if my daughter looked like she needed to rest or see a doctor.

| Walking back to the dorm room from the Botanic Garden. |
 |
| Sunset on the first Thursday. |
 |
| The window frames and shadows inside the history building, where she took half of her classes. |
 |
| The history building library. |
 |
| I'll bet you didn't know you need to use Platform 9 3/4 to get from Cambridge to London! |
 |
| Marina room in the London Hostel. |
 |
| The British Museum. |
 |
| The clocktower of Big Ben. |
 |
| Heading toward Westminster Abbey. This was her goal for Saturday. The clouds are beautiful going in. Coming out would bring the rain. |

It was my delight to introduce Marina to Europe. She is a wonderful traveling companion and I hope I get a chance to do a trip with her in the future. Love, Mom/Grandma
